That's not true....many are professional musicians first that mix it up and can do so using their talents & other things using many means to do so recording tracks the benefit vs karaoke is you record WHAT YOU WANT in a song ARRANGEMENT not what a commercial company K company gives you...this way you make it your own I know I do adding parts, editing the original track, etc, etc, if you sing well and know how to play, record and edit...forget the old way of thinking,...there are so many ways to make music today open your mind and enjoy it,.....it's not going anywhere soon..
